| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Andalusia |
 | | This country is situated in the southern part of the Iberian peninsula, and is bounded on the north by the provinces of Badajoz and New Castile, on the south by the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, on the east by the provinces of Albacete and Murcia, and on the west by Portugal. |
 | | Many strangers visit Andalusia every year, especially in the spring, attracted by the beauty of its many historic monuments pre-eminently, the cathedral and Alcazar of Seville, the cathedral of Cordova, and the Alhambra and also by the typically national character of the Holy Week services at Seville, and of Corpus Christi at Granada. |
 | | Andalusia was inhabited in early historic times by a people of Iberian origin; the Turdetani occupied what are now the provinces of Seville and Huelva; the Turduli, Jaen, Cordova, and part of Granada; the Bastuli, Malaga, and the coast of Granada; and the Bastetani, Jaen, Guadix, Baza, and Almeria. |
